Sure, San Antonio winter is like spring everywhere else, but we still have our seasonal activities. Before you start your spring planting and projects, head down to the San Antonio Home & Garden Show for tons of inspiration.

Held February 22 –February 24, the 39th annual celebration of all things home features the latest products and services—for indoors and out. Are you doing some serious remodeling? Talk to builders, contractors and remodelers. Installing a pool for summer? See the latest pools, spas, and outdoor décor. Looking to reinvent your garden? You’ll find plenty of green things to take home.

Covering thousands of square feet at San Antonio’s Alamodome, the largest home improvement show in Texas does home and garden right. Bring the kids: there’s plenty of activities to keep them entertained.

Here’s why you should pack up the family and come on down to the San Antonio Home and Garden Show.

1. Meet Jeff Lewis

America’s best-known house-flipper and star of Bravo’s hit series “Flipping Out” will make several appearances through the weekend. Find out how the celebrity guest remodels homes for maximum flipability.

2. Peppa Pig!

Peppa Pig can’t wait to meet your kiddos. She’ll be hanging out at the Home & Garden Show’s Kids Zone on Saturday.

Your little ones can get their picture taken with Peppa from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They can also dig around in the Children’s Garden and make something neat in the Kids Building Workshop.

3. Craft workshops

Your kids may not share your excitement for granite countertops, but the whole family can get on board with the many crafty workshops. Choose from workshops in paper flower-making, wreath decorating, ceramic air plant hanger-making, and more.

4. Live animals

As if Peppa Pig wasn’t cool enough, bring the kids to one of the Birds of Prey shows. Or, if you’re thinking of expanding your family, visit the pet adoption center sponsored by Converse Animal Shelter.

At the San Antonio Home & Garden Show, you’ll find plenty of plants for sale so you can enhance your yard now. Home Depot, Palo Alto College, and the Bexar County Master Gardeners will all have plants for sale in their booths. Stop by!

If you have the plants, but don’t know how keep them flourishing, attend one of the many expert seminars. All weekend long, you’ll find info-packed seminars covering topics such as Turfgrass, Texas Superstar Plants, bats, container gardening, composting, drip irrigation and how to turn that brown thumb of yours green.
